Exciting times in west Raleigh with the hire of Eliah Drinkwitz. RALEIGH, N.C. – NC State head football coach Dave Doeren announced today that Eliah D[See the full post at: NC State names new offensive coordinator]

Boise State true freshman QB Brett Rypien had -72 yards rushing for the year. So I guess he inherited his dad’s Frankenstein like moves in the pocket (Mark Rypien). Passed for 3,300 yards. Sounds like he can mold offense around the qbs strengths. Looking forward to this. Lots of people to keep happy.

Don’t know about Huxtable? Unless they indict Cosby and somehow link his On Screen Dr. Huxtable to our Huxtable and envoke the “Moral’s Clause”, then this too will pass. Admittedly, what we did on Defense this year should have been grounds criminal charges….

GO PACK. Clemson and Bama knotted.

BTW….DID you know that the U of Phoenix Field is retractable and they put it outside to get sun and nourishment? That also lets them use the venue for concerts WITHOUT the heavy bill for “returfing”

Cool YouTue video of how they do it. Makes the PNC Ice conversion look like child’s play.

Given NC State’s current coaching situation, my guess at our salary band, and our place in the pecking order, I think this was a good hire. There was no hire that we were going to make that wasn’t going to come with some risk. I’m glad we did this as opposed to promoting from within, which I thought we might do.

The thing about Boise is that they have a LOT of talent and have for a while. You can run a lot of schemes and be successful with that much talent. Here’s to hoping he is a good recruiter.

The most promising thing to me about the hire is what he did with a freshman QB this year. I don’t know much about that QB so maybe he was just really good, but I’m hoping it means he is running a system that is easy to pick up and that he knows how to bring a QB along. I never thought Canada was good at developing QBs, and that’s not jus revisionist history after year three. JB should have looked a lot better last year given he was the savior and had sat out a year and worked so closely with Canada.

If nothing else, this will pump some life into the offense. That’s definitely needed given all the questions.

Sounds like a good hire. Looks like the trend hiring young, smart offensive coordinators with today’s modern offenses, such as Oklahoma and Lincoln Riley, etc. Comes from a good coaching tree of Gus Malzhan and his spread offense. Need to recruit the players to “fit” his offense, but we have some good players in house now that can probably make it work. Now let’s work on the defense.
